Sarah Jane Weaves

 

Sarah Jane Weaves began as an experiment in lockdown 2020 and turned into a regular thing. Sarah creates modern wall hangings with graphic designs using a hand loom. She sells them on Instagram with all profits going to Aotearoa women’s charities.

Looking good ☺️ Even when I try to do a new colourway they always end up looking like one of my weavings. I suppose that’s okay! I am going to try one in only green tones after this.
Ready to go! It’s such fine yarn that I had to wrap it two strands at a time to keep it from breaking. It will be interesting to weave.
Three new rimu blocks (cut by my husband) and ready for yarn 🧶
It’s been a hot minute since I did some weaving but then I found a big bag of tapestry wool in an op shop for $5 and I wasn’t going to say no. I love working with thrifted wool and the constraints it brings!
